Limit internet usage: Restrict internet bandwith of users

Today you’ll learn a quick method to limit internet bandwidth partially or entirely to devices connected to your network without accessing your router settings. For that purpose let me just take a moment to explain what we are going to achieve in this post.

Bandwidth, as we all know, is the rate of data transfer available to a device connected to the internet. Which means higher the rate, the faster the internet speed on the device and lower the rate slower the internet speed on the device. So by reducing or eliminating this rate of data transfer (bandwidth)on other devices connected to your network, you on your device can enjoy higher internet speed on your device. And that’s what we are gonna achieve in this post here.
